Pantry People

Pantry People is a ‘serve community’ made up of friends, volunteers and covenant partners of Newmarket Baptist Church.

We seek to create spaces of food, friendship and faith; welcome, work and worship; where all are invited; where there is a place of honour for those considered least; and where the miracle of enough for all to eat, share and be satisfied is celebrated.

We seek to promote ‘healing connections’ & ‘good work’ within a rich and resilient local food culture created by and for the local Flemington/Kensington/Ascot Vale public housing estate community.

We share food based parnterships across Melbourne’s Inner North West around ideas and values of food security, sovereignty and sabbath economics which seek to understand, value and promote sacred and healing connections that are often lost in the dominant economy.
